Why the shortage? Do I really have to be gouged at $40 on Amazon to complete owning every miniature? I emailed Fantasy Flight about this and got some automated response. Does anyone know if this will be reproduced and sold at an acceptable price?

They sell out sometimes and it takes a bit to get the reprint. They'll be here around the same time as the new stuff is released. It's at the Printer right now.

This happened when I first started playing x-wing (coincindentally with the Firespray pack) where people were selling them for $60+. This is before FFG got any type of trade agreement like they do now with Asmodee for distribution. As soon as the new shipment came in the profiteers went back to retail or less because they were everywhere. The same thing will happen here in a couple of months.

Should I be responding to these? It seems like there is a Boba Fett plea every week now.

I feel dirty now. I found the last one at my FLGS and picked it up a couple weeks ago. Now I have two. My intention is to paint one all gold and use it as a little trophy in some tournament.

So clearly, the answer to your question is "Because that RogueLieutenant is a selfish ^%$*^%$!!"
